After The Andy Griffith Show had run it's course Griffith changed gears. He played attorney Ben Matlock, kind of a bumbler with a bad suit. But of course he always solved the murder and his clients...
He felt it was time and wanted to end it while the quality was still high.
Andy Griffith turned 33 years old on June 1, 1960. The show premiered in October of that year.
Oh yeah! Lot's of it. He created the show Matlock, was executive producer, and the star.
